A framework for Language Revitalization and Documentation
As a journal, Language has a substantial history of publishing articles about areas of linguistics now commonly identified as language documentation, revitalization, and reclamation. The significance of this vein of research is exemplified by the collection of articles published by Ken Hale and colleagues in this journal in 1992 (Hale et al. 1992). These articles present themselves as case studies of language revitalization, outlining arguments f…
Understanding language vitality and reclamation as resilience
Drawing extensively from Indigenous scholarship, I argue for more holistic and inclusive notions of LANGUAGE and LANGUAGE VITALITY. This enables a better understanding of language revitalization's role as a protective factor, as well as how to evaluate its success. I present data from the Indigenous communities of the United States and Canada showing that language shift correlates with a host of negative outcomes: educational, economic, and well-…
Morphology in the Muskogean languages
The indigenous languages of the Americas exemplify a number of uncommon typological patterns, especially in their morphology. Here, that rich morphology is illustrated via the Muskogean languages of the southeastern United States. Muskogean languages are agglutinative, but even more interesting and uncommon patterns emerge in an analysis of their morphology. These include subtractive morphology, suppletion, infixation, ablaut, and the use of supr…
Prosodic Inconsistency in Tohono O'odham1
This paper makes a typological contribution by describing a stress system that uses syllabic trochees while also displaying characteristics more typically associated with a quantity-sensitive language. The description comes from Tohono O’odham. The rhythm \nof this language is quantity-insensitive and trochaic, although the language also displays characteristics often associated with quantity-sensitivity (i.e., long vowels, gemination). \nExamine…
Developing a Service-Learning Curriculum for Linguistics
Service‐learning integrates community service into a credit‐earning course to enrich the learning experience and pair practice with theory in some content area. Linguistics courses offer tremendous potential for service‐learning because there are a variety of ways in which language‐related theory can be put into practice. This paper outlines the development of a service‐learning curriculum for linguistics courses. While examples come from a proje…

Tohono O'odham stress in a single ranking
This paper argues in favour of the analysis of Tohono O'odham stress originally presented in Fitzgerald (1997). This analysis relies on a single grammar in which metrical and rhythmic constraints are interleaved with the M ORPHEME - TO -S TRESS P RINCIPLE (MSP), a constraint that requires morphemes to be stressed. The single-grammar approach is contrasted with the co-phonology account offered for the same data in Yu (2000). The two analyses use t…
The morpheme-to-stress principle in Tohono Oodham
In this paper, I describe and analyze a novel pattern of secondary stress in Tohono O'odham. Tohono O'odham (formerly known as Papago) assigns primary stress to the first syllable in content words (Hale 1959, Saxton 1963, Hill and Zepeda 1992). Fieldwork by the author on Tohono O'odham shows that a word-final secondary stress is disallowed in monomorphemic words, but is allowed in polymorphemic words. This descriptive generalization holds regardl…
